Re: [Qgis-developer] No Zoom to selected point

2013-12-04 Thread Gino Pirelli
Sorry Bernhard was my mistake... I had a layer but it was composed of
circular polygons similar to point.

sorry for the noise

  Dear devs,

 today I stumbled on a strange behaviour when zoooming to a point.
 To reproduce: load a point layer, select one feature in the table and
 click Zoom to selection. The result is the same as if clicking Pan
 map
 to Selection, i.e the map is panned but not zoomed.
 I _think_ this is because the bounding box of the selected feature has a
 width and height of 0. Try iface.activeLayer().
 boundingBoxOfSelected().width()/.height() in the Python console.
 Geometrically speaking this is correct but as the zoom to selected
 function builds on a bounding box with width/height  0 the outcome for
 the
 user is bad.
 My suggestion would be to define a small rectangle around the bounding
 boxes' center if it has size 0 in the zoomToSelected function.

 Tried with QGIS 2.0.1 and current master

 Shall I file a ticket for this?

Zoom to a scale related to the layer bbox sounds much better than
zooming in a fixed factor.

If one point is selected, it is somehow undefined how far to zoom in.
Earlier behaviour was to just zoom in by a factor of two. This however
is very unconvenient if you repeatedly select entries in the attribute

Oh, you are right! But then, wouldn't it be sensible to have the program

click zoom to selected. If I have a cloud of points and nothing
happens I have no means to see the particular point I selected and
that is worse than unconvenient.
How does other GIS software handle this problem?

Hi Bernhard

If one point is selected, it is somehow undefined how far to zoom in.
Earlier behaviour was to just zoom in by a factor of two. This however
is very unconvenient if you repeatedly select entries in the attribute
table and click 'zoom to selected'.

Hi Gino,

can you confirm what I described (_one_ point selected, does not zoom)?

I tried with f21562c on OpenSuse 64 bit.

Dear devs,

today I stumbled on a strange behaviour when zoooming to a point.
To reproduce: load a point layer, select one feature in the table
and
click Zoom to selection. The result is the same as if clicking
Pan map
to Selection, i.e the map is panned but not zoomed.
I _think_ this is because the bounding box of the selected feature
has a
width and height of 0. Try iface.activeLayer().
boundingBoxOfSelected().width()/.height() in the Python console.
Geometrically speaking this is correct but as the zoom to selected
function builds on a bounding box with width/height 0 the outcome
for the
user is bad.
My suggestion would be to define a small rectangle around the
bounding
boxes' center if it has size 0 in the zoomToSelected function.

Tried with QGIS 2.0.1 and current master

Shall I file a ticket for this?

Re: [Qgis-developer] No Zoom to selected point

2013-12-03 Thread Marco Hugentobler
Oh, you are right! But then, wouldn't it be sensible to have the 
program do that for me? Maybe zoom to a certain scale that is related to 
say the size of the bounding box of the
layer? So the scale would be different for a layer containing global 
disaster points compared to one containing local addresses.


Zoom to a scale related to the layer bbox sounds much better than 
zooming in a fixed factor.

Of course you have. You know the point is in the middle of the screen,
so you can manually zoom to it. It is just not convenient :-)

[Qgis-developer] No Zoom to selected point

2013-12-02 Thread Bernhard Ströbl

Dear devs,

today I stumbled on a strange behaviour when zoooming to a point.
To reproduce: load a point layer, select one feature in the table and 
click Zoom to selection. The result is the same as if clicking Pan 
map to Selection, i.e the map is panned but not zoomed.
I _think_ this is because the bounding box of the selected feature has a 
width and height of 0. Try 
iface.activeLayer().boundingBoxOfSelected().width()/.height() in the 
Python console.
Geometrically speaking this is correct but as the zoom to selected 
function builds on a bounding box with width/height  0 the outcome for 
the user is bad.
My suggestion would be to define a small rectangle around the bounding 
boxes' center if it has size 0 in the zoomToSelected function.
